The default view for drift reports that show files is to show all of the individual files in the drift report. This shows both files installed by (or copied from) other files and files not generated by other files in the report.

In some cases, you might find the report for top-level files is often the most useful in tracking drift and risk because many of these files are the ones that install other files on computers. These are files not generated by other files in the report.
